Method and apparatus for providing a location based service
First Claim
1. A method for providing a location based service (LBS) by a serving base station (BS), comprising:
- sending an instruction message indicating that an LBS-zone that provides LBS exists to a mobile station (MS); and
receiving a measurement result for a reference signal sent by a neighbor BS located in the LBS-zone from the MS,wherein the measurement result is measured by using information of the LBS-zone included in the instruction message.

Abstract
An application method of a Location Based Service-zone (LBS-zone) is capable of implementing instruction and measurement for the LBS-zone. The method includes sending, by a serving Base Station (BS) located by a Mobile Station (MS), an instruction message indicating an LBS-zone exists, to the MS. The method also includes, when the LBS-zone exists, and the MS measures a reference signal sent by a neighbor BS in the LBS-zone, receiving, by the MS, the reference signal in the LBS-zone, which is sent by the neighbor BS and used for locating the MS, according to the instruction message. The method also includes measuring, by the MS, the reference signal, and sending a measurement result to the serving BS. Using embodiments of the invention, the MS may be enabled to obtain information of the LBS-zone accurately, so as to implement normal measurement for the LBS-zone and measurement result feedback.
